Brian Cowen SC

I had the misfortune last night to flick across the television channels.

I came across that pathetic excuse for a political leader of ours.

The only positive thing I can say about that fucker is that I don’t think he is corrupt. He is too fucking thick to be corrupt.

For the benefit of any stranger to Irish politics, we have just had two reports published. Both fairly and squarely place the blame for our financial ruin on decisions made by the Irish government through the last decade. Both reports acknowledge the world financial crisis, but both reports say that our mess is of our own government’s making. And who was Minister for Finance during this period? Yes. The spluttering cunt who now calls himself our leader.

An opinion poll out today shows the mood of the electorate. A staggering 83% of the population think the government is doing a shite job. Actually, I am quite interested in the 12% who think they are doing a good job. I honestly didn’t think our mental hospitals were that full.

The dribbling idiot was being interviewed when I found him. I despaired.

The fuckwit still maintains that it was world influence. The miserable cunt still won’t acknowledge that he and his cronies bankrupt our country. Worst of all, he has the fucking gall to use word ‘democratic’ to explain why he is still in power. “The government was democratically elected and has the mandate of the people to govern for the next two and a half years”

He told us last night that the country is showing signs of recovery.

Big fucking wow.

They have been telling us that for the last year. Don’t tell me. Tell the 13.7% of the workforce who are unemployed. Tell that to the people who are having their homes repossessed. Tell that to the parents of the disabled who have had respite care removed, Tell that to the elderly who have had their services curtailed.

Of course the steaming pile of wombat’s shit is hoping that there will be a recovery within the next couple of years so that he can claim the credit. Even now, he is trying to take credit for sorting out the mess he himself created.

Suffering more economic woe may end the Irish two-and-a-half party system that has spanceled political life since the state’s early years. Just another 18 months of suffering and the electorate will madly boot out the effers and boot FG into second place. Redemption through suffering, sounds theological. Ah but the voters might get their arithmetic wrong at the ballot boxes and we’ll find we wuz only daydreaming. Enjoy your continental rambles.

Gabby – The Irish seem to have a remarkable knack of voting back the worst possible option. I wouldn’t dismiss the chances of the current shower of shites just yet. Like rancid turds, they have a knack of always floating to the top. Alas, my ramblings will be local rather than continental this year. Next year will be different!

Sorry, I absent-mindedly got your holiday rambles wrong, grandad. To get mentally away from Ireland and mugshots of Biffo et al (Al is no pal of mine either) why not stop buying Irish papers and just buy Le Monde or USA Today instead? Try to sit at footpath cafe tables sipping vin ordinaire while perusing commentary on the chances of UMP and Parti Socialiste candidates (ecrasez les Verts!) in elections a year or so from now. I hope the weather encourages such footpath fantasizing, and that the sounds of TV world cup commentaries in the front bars will be well out of your earshot.

Spluttering Cunt. The beauty of this phrase overshadows everything else you say in this post. Some phrases just have a certain ring to them. I used to be particularly fond of Ballbag Bastard. But that now seems pale and anaemic.
No doubt someone will steal your beautiful phrase to be the title of a new style magazine, or at the very least a blog.

I think it is all very well to blame FF and Cowen but they say a country gets the Government it deserves and on some levels we have deserved all of this. We knew that FF were a party associated with corruption and incompetence yet the population largely voted them back in to power. We were so busy caught up with the shite of the boom: houses, cars, handbags, largess generally and no one listened to the few voices of wisdom: The economists. The world runs in cycles of boom to bust, boom to bust and Ireland will come out of this current situation. As humans we repeat the same mistakes over and over and over again-nothing gets learnt from previous experience. We voted FF into power-it’s our fault the country is in the state it is in!
